    ... and Ronnie Lanes bass if you're interested:

    I know we had this before some years ago but it's worth it again and I always really liked Ronnie Lane's bass playing.

    Surely in an anti-gravity situation the strings play themselves? And you don't need a strap.

    Ace Kefford ... second half of the bridge ... and a slab 66 Precision ...
  7. EssentialTension
    That's a relief. Phew.
  8. EssentialTension
    What about hanging basses on a strap around the neck and shoulders? Is that OK?

    Didn't Gibson do a Les Paul model with an autotuning system, maybe a Jimmy Page Signature? But it never worked properly? Am I imagining this?

    Flatwounds will not cure a buzzing fret.

    I find it is rare that I have to tune up during a gig.

    Saw Hamilton show this afternoon and it was absolutely tremendous. Congratulations to all of you.

    This thread needs videos ...

    Obviously the worst bass player in the world ... or not.
  15. EssentialTension
    Very good.
  16. EssentialTension
    Very nice, I like the colour.

    There’s no guarantee that everyone on stage knows without it being disputed, never mind the punters.

    I was there too and the world was immensely changed and immensely changing but you don’t need to have been there to understand that. It’s quite possible to grasp the enormity of the changes and something of The Beatles role if it’s approached with an open mind - it has very little to do with what one personally likes. There are people who were there who didn’t or don’t get it; being there is neither necessary nor sufficent. They did many things but The Beatles didn’t invent the electric bass guitar.

    I don’t actually think you had to be there ... it was a joke.

    Rotos: very heavy gauge, may need nut filing, soft warm sounding, medium tension, yellow silks. La Bella: slightly narrower gauge, nut should be fine, brighter but still mellow sounding, medium tension, purplish silks. GHS: slightly heavier gauge, less bright, mellow, red silks. Fender: Feel more like coated roundwounds than tapes, so rougher feel, medium tension, brighter sounding, black silks. D'Addario: never tried them but I believe very low tension, blue silks Pyramid: medium tension, mellow sounding, tape feels almost cloth-like, golden silks. Probably not very helpful, there's no substitute for trying them all. I don't myself think there's anything wrong with any of them on any bass, it's merely your personal preferences

    I would probably have said the opposite ... just showing there's at least some subjectivity to it.
  24. EssentialTension
    I believe Herbie Flowers' blue Jazz bass wears Rotosound Trubass tapes.

    I'm not very experienced with Thunderbird pickups but I have to say the Epiphone Embassy is much brighter sounding than I expected ... but nothing that can't be worked with.
